Homecoming Day 1 - On the High Seas

It's that time of year again!! Homecoming!! This is my last night school homecoming and I am so excited. Even though this week is considered "spirit week", my high school only dresses up for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and for the dance on Saturday. In the past, we've had the themes "togas", "medieval", "famous couples", "90's icons", "zombies", "superheroes", "jungle", "cowboys/cowgirls", and "60's day." I love the themes for this year, though!! The first theme, for Wednesday, is called "on the high seas." Basically, it's the choice between sailors, pirates, or mermaids. But, as I was browsing the internet for cute clothes for costumes, I found a great idea from American Apparel: a lifeguard!

It's super easy. Basically, it's just a white t-shirt and red norts. Yay! I need to find a red bikini top (probably borrowed from one of my friends), and a whistle. It's the most relaxed spirit week outfit I've ever come up with! 

I'll post pictures at the end of the week of all of the actual outfits!! 

I hope everyone has a great day!

Homecoming Day 1

Today is the first day of "Spirit Week" at my school, even though it's a Wednesday. It's the first day of costumes for homecoming, and I am SO EXCITED! I know this is a very disappointing fact, but I decided against the Betty Draper outfit. I really wanted to do it and it was going to be so much fun, but I think that i thought of something (maybe) better? 

The theme is 1960's, and of course, everyone is basically going as hippies. My best friends are being Sesame Street characters, Jackie O, and Audrey Hepburn, though! And, for my costume, I'm being...Lilly Pulitzer! Yes, I'm obsessed. Yes, the entire summer was basically dedicated to Miss Lilly. But this is 1960's Lilly! I have everything planned out! All I'm missing is a tan!

Here is my inspiration:

And here's what I'm wearing!

This is the dress that I'm wearing. It's one of the most vintage looking shifts that I have, and it's so cute! I'm going to wear gold Jack Rogers, huge gold hoop earrings, and I'm carrying a Kate Spade basket purse!

 

Here is the secret to my sixties hair success: a Bump-It. My brother gave one to me as a joke for my birthday last year, and it's going to come in handy today!  I'm also going to be wearing a ribbon headband with huge Jackie O sunglasses! I'm so excited!

For me, the funniest thing about today is the fact that my brother will be walking the hallways of high school wearing a Gumby costume. The man at Party City assured us that "Gumby and Pokey" were in the 60's, but whatever! It's so funny and cute!

Have a GREAT day, y'all!

xoxo, Hannah
